Book Chapter: PASSPORT NUMBER B-2362296

- Chapter Opening: Passport Number B-2362296 -

I

n late December 1971, armed with
his new US Army issued identification card and accompanying piles of Army paper
with the Jensen name and Social Security numbers all over them,[1]
Private Jensen stopped off in Berkeley, California with a panel truck, to clean
up his belongings from the rooming house owned by Leonard Coats[2]
at 1314 Poe St.[3] and on
December 20 he also picked up a new passport.

From a Brazilian Federal Police document, their government and presumably others were not informed until August 10, 1972 that Jensen (Passport No. B-2362296) might be stopping by or passing through.[1]
In 1979, every Army anything I had was emblazoned with my name and SSAN, even
my duffle bags.[2]New York Times, January 14, 1972.[3]San Francisco Examiner, “Bay Address
– Alias Traced Bank Bomber”, January 15, 1972.

Note: The footnotes here begin at 1, but in the book they begin at 1 in the beginning and increase throughout the book, they do not restart by chapter.

This chapter continues with a translation of the Brazilian Federal Police documents. Images of the original are in the Documents chapter of the book.
